Col (rt) Graham du Toit Last Post 12 Jun 2024: T/11153 Air Mechanic (Passenger) Hermanus Lambertus Booysen, Central Flying School Dunnottar, killed instantly in AT-6 Harvard serial 7161 with Gaylard B.E. PN 30465, unauthorised low-level aerobatics near Dunnottar, age 18. Unit was Central Flying School — set to CFS Dunnottar. Unauthorised aerobatics filled. Unit2 was Army — set to Air Force.
25 Sep 2026, Unit2 service-branch sweep: the stored Secondary Unit "Air Force" was CLEARED as a duplicate. It was not a sub-unit, it was a service-branch word repeating what the Branch column already says. Secondary Unit is for sub-units -- a company, a squadron, a commando -- and this record's branch of service is unchanged at "Air Force".
